No, as the article describes, that does not work even if the language/framework experience is already there.

If you're a veteran with Javascript, and Angular, and Node, and MySQL, you will scarcely be able to add something as simple as a "Birthday" field to the user profile pages of your new employer's SPA on your first day or first week on the job. That background will give you an idea of how you would have done that on previous applications, and give a slight speed boost as you try to skim the project for tables and functions that are related to user profiles, but the new application is almost certainly different. If you knew C#, SQLite, and desktop application development instead, or, heck, were fresh out of college with nothing but some toy applications that used Java to write some CSV files, that would scarcely matter, you'd still spend that first day reading through the codebase to understand how user profiles work, and regardless of your experience you're probably merely going to copy-paste and modify the "Occupation" field anyways.

There are a couple minutes of that first day where you're editing a bit of code and it will go slightly faster if you can remember off the top of your head that in Angular, the keyword to parameterize an input[date] field with a maximum value so your users don't accidentally claim to be infants is "ngMax". Or you could go to docs.angularjs.org and look that up in 5 minutes or less, which is a delay, but that doesn't matter much if the other 7 hours and 55 minutes of that first day (and much of the coming weeks and months) will be spent learning the domain-specific details of your business, navigating the project hierarchy, and memorizing the most common table columns and class names.

I think too many hiring managers are unwilling to voice and reason about their subconscious expectation that they're going to hire someone who is a clone of their existing employees. The only developer on the planet with 5 years' experience building a CRM and scheduling tool for landscapers in West Virgina using React/Node/MySQL with database layout and code architecture that matches what you have is named Dave, he's already in the office down the hall, and yes he's behind on v3 because he's swamped with tickets from customers on V2 right now, he needs you to hire someone to help. Just get anyone who's reasonably technically competent and good at problem-solving, and they'll pick it up as has always been done.
Middle class in the US goes up to about $120k. I dont know any licensed tradespeople that work for themselves that make less than this.
With respect, this feels like moving the goal posts. The position has to disagree with the Left to count?

How about Kelo vs New London? This was the Supreme Court case establishing that the government could use eminent domain to seize people's homes and hand the property to private developers, in the interest of raising tax revenue for the city. Libertarians were against it; liberals were for it. Is that "might makes right"?
So everything is at it should be. People who cannot afford to risk big, should not risk big. It is a simple fact that being wealthy allows one to risk more, financially.
Even if you gave poor promising candidates free money with no strings attached, they would still be better of going into a stable career path with stable growth, rather than try to start a startup because of the opportunity costs.

And, why should smarts and entrepreneurship be correlated, anyway?
This prevents over leveraged YOLOs to go bankrupt, which prevents RH to hold their bags
So for you, there was a royal road to math? No homework necessary? If so, you're one in a billion. It's no wonder you don't share the perspective of others who must practice in order to learn.
They didn't beat wall street, they just dinged a handful of speculators. Who do you think is on the other side of that 50% loss? I am going to assume that a whole bunch of speculators swooped in yesterday to take advantage of the situation and they just walked away with some easy money, courtesy of the WSB crowd.
Point taken.

Still, as far as risk to RH is concerned - if this kicks off a change via their customers, regulators, or legal action the change is probably not in their favor.
What happens when the masses pivot to another stock, will they block purchases of that also?
> Does it matter that your're underwater by 50%? The goal was to beat Wallstreet, They did.

1. If you end up losing money in the end, I'd hardly call that "beating".

2. "wall st" isn't a single entity. The hedge funds shorting GME might have lost money, but there's plenty of companies that made money on the side, eg. the asset management firm that unloaded their GME shares.
Yes they have a peripheral mode with its own commands

https://inkplate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/peripheral-mode.ht...
Yeah, RH could legitimately be trying to protect their users from what is basically a pump & dump scheme. Alternatively, they could be having liquidity troubles, or backend trouble, etc. If you are serious about trading you should not be on RH...
BlackRock hold everything. It doesn’t really mean anything to say that they hold a lot of shares in some particular company. You might as well have just written “GameStop is a publicly traded US company” and one would deduce that BlackRock owns a lot of shares in it.
Is there an alternative with a comparably low bar to entry?
Wall Street is driven by money, relationships, and reputation. Obviously, Plotkin lost money here in terms of his this-year payout. But I believe he also takes a hit in other ways.

On Money: Plotkin's fund lost money for his investors, all of whom are rich people who will be upset with him. There will probably be some redemptions, and AUM will go down -- not just because he lost some of it, but because investors will pull out some of what remains.

On Reputation: Plotkin ends up with egg on his face because he held the bag for a bunch of mom-and-pop investors on Robin Hood. You know how Soros is known for famously breaking the Pound Sterling? Plotkin is now known for infamously being broken by GME.

On Relationships: Plotkin lost even after getting an injection of liquidity from Cohen and Griffin. That can't be good for his standing with those two power players.
Yeah, 1973 is a much better reference year. Both because that's what the data actually says, and because there was a very clear cause: inflation. 1973 was the year of the oil crisis, the year that fixed exchange rates under Bretton Woods became floating exchange rates, and the year that the 1970s inflation happened.

Inflation doesn't affect all professions equally. Differentiated professions (those where there's only a limited supply of workers, and a limited number of positions) can bargain for higher wages, because there's nobody else that can take the job if you don't. The common people can't, because that's what it means to be common: you are easily replaceable. Hence when inflation hits, the upper classes capture the vast majority of the new money and new wealth created, while the lower classes get stuck with the same nominal wage, which purchases far less.
Yes six months seems very long I recall when I switched to a new language (PL1/G) on the Map Reduce part of our project, the developer I took over from after 3 days said "you don't know it all yet"

I was teaching my self from a 1964 vintage IBM manual that my father had kept :-)
There are two major differences...

1. If Cramer said "Hey, let's all buy this stock because there is a potential short squeeze.", then that would be illegal because it's attempting to create an artificial market pump through short squeezing.

2. Cramer is LICENSED to give investment advice. A licensed doctor can go on TV and make medical recommendations. Reddit specifically bans subs that try to do that.

> It is for sure GME will hit 30

May I suggest you look into purchasing long-dated GME puts then? The price for the $320 GME PUT expiring in 1 year is $240.
Most don't, but most aren't the most valuable brokerage firm in the US. Interactive Brokers does. TD does. ETrade didn't, but Citadel owned a huge stake in ETrade.

The main reason RH hasn't done it is that they have this free model, and whenever you route your own flow, it costs money--too much money for RH to swallow and make back on margin interest. So instead of creating a backup that makes them unbeholden to the order routers, they just hoped the problem would never occur by diversifying the places they route flow to.
FUD about Telegram
> As a Tesla owner it really getting to the point state side that buying one may be a negative as the only connector they offer is their own

It comes with an adapter, this isn’t an issue for owners.

I’ve said elsewhere in this thread, but forcing them to open their system would really bother me. They built this out in spite of everything while legacy did nothing.

If legacy wants compatibility they should have to pay for it.
Don’t just pull RH’s, pull all brokers’. Paying a commission doesn’t protect you from anyone maximizing profits.

All the discount brokers sell order flow.

> Schwab earned 1.4% of revenue from payment for order flow, TD Ameritrade about 8.4%, and ETRADE about 6.1%.

They all make half or a lot less of their revenue from commissions.

> The contribution to revenue across the discount brokerages is minimal: 6.8% at Schwab, 28% at TD Ameritrade, and 17% at ETRADE.

> Interactive Brokers is the one standout, largely because it caters to high-volume professional and semi-professional traders; it makes 49% of revenues on commissions.

All RH did was run a tight ship on costs and cut commissions to zero. In theory, commissions could go less than zero.

Yup. Ivory tower circle jerk HN.
You should be able to initiate the transfer from the target brokerage. For example in TD Ameritrade, Account -> Contribution -> Account transfer from another brokerage
And... it's back to #2 again.
"without dealing with those inconveniences" but by having to own a particular brand of car.

Seems like the same problem to me, but from two different ends of the spectrum.
Accounting has been around for hundreds of years. The reason it doesn't change? Because it's not a "new" field.

Same for stuff like construction and cooking... stuff that's been around a very long time has become rather stable and of course it isn't going to be "reinvented every five years".

> when it would be better engineering

again... I don't need to understand history to understand Big O and which algorithm to use in the right circumstances or when procedural programming is proffered to functional.

At no point in my career have I ever NEEDED history to decide which library to use, which sorting algorithm is suitable and how to create functional apis or windows services.

History is nice to know... but still 100% not needed at any stage of the process.

I'm not sure where the disconnect is because I like history... I like learning about American history, world history, programming history... but none of that has ever been relevant in any of my jobs when it comes to day to day decisions and projects.

"don't reinvent the wheel" is a separate topic and while I can agree that many things get reinvented - computers are still a very young industry compared to stuff like accounting and architecture.
Yeah, the peasants shouldn't be able to play the same game as the nobility. How dare they use the same tricks that make the wealthy even wealthier?
Not surprising to a British reader. Sutton Trust research [1] finds that positions of influence in the UK, and the professions generally, are dominated by the 7% who were privately educated. Conclusion: networks and connections are everything.

This is a gross oversimplification of how power to influence fiat and power to influence Bitcoin differ. Do better.
Looking forward to the "record-breaking" $5 million settlement.
A broker is an intermediary, and if it accepts your stock transaction, incurs certain responsibilities and certain liabilities. No broker wants to be held responsible in court for "letting me do something stupid" (and yes, that happens). Some number of participants are going to be left holding stock when this flash in the pan action reaches its peak, and if it's a bunch of a single broker's customers, then their liability is much too high compared to their own gain.
Thanks for the precision.

One thing that confuses me, though - if having a strong safety net to fall back on is important to enable entrepreneurship, why does it seem like Europe is so bad at it?
I encourage you to strongly reconsider, this morning when I saw your post, first and only thought that went through my head was "Oh this is about Joe Arpio". And it seemed like that connection was intentional - "protect your business" like a Sheriff would. I made connection with "RPO" after reading your post.

Joe Arpio is a convicted felon[0] for contempt of court and treating humans in a sub-human way[1].

I strongly urge you to reconsider this.

I wouldn't say Swarm is much easier. You have to caveat 'easier' too. K8s is easier to do complicated things that were basically impossible before. It's the same with everything in software engineering. As we move up the ladder in abstractions, what's possible becomes more complicated, so it doesn't get any easier.

Graphics are good example. As people developed abstractions the ability to make more and more complicated graphics became possible. Now A+ games are more expensive and take longer to make then ever before, but they are also doing things that could of never happened before.

Our company is trying to make K8s much simpler to get into for the avg company, so another abstraction, but specifically done to make it simpler. This all feels very normal to me as someone that started back in the day managing 1000s of blade servers, now it's just containers. Was hard then and is hard now.
I'm using it too, it's great. Also you may check the auto-create flag, allowing new tabs belonging to the source page's group.
Yea, Telegram is a great middle ground.. sort of.

It has secure options at least. But importantly doesn't require my phone number to create an account and contact people. But also has a lot of features that are missing in something like Signal.

Signal is my preferred option, but I'm not keen on sharing my phone number with everyone.
Is this a surprise? Tons of people wanted to buy GME this morning and were mad that Robinhood was preventing them.

We won’t know for days who makes money and who doesn’t. It certainly won’t be everyone.
>If you are serious about trading you should not be on RH

While basically true, this isn't a reasonable excuse to shift blame from RH to their users.
How? Do you even understand how Bitcoin works?
This is why following conventions for whatever technologies you are using (not reinventing the wheel) has value. Same for documentation. Going the extra mile to document what you are doing and why, with some examples, or to update the documentation as things change, is not only valuable, but a clear sign of the maturity of a developer.
Decentralized doesn't have to mean "everyone self-hosts": it just means there's more than one offering on the market.

The actual data don't really support the claims of the authors, and certainly not the hype of the press brief:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dar.13239

If it's a topic you are interested in, I would definitely recommend checking out the original article to decide for yourself.

Basically though, the authors looked at a bunch of different measures relating to "poor outcome" at age 35: Alcohol use, smoking, illicit drug use, relationship status, financial hardship, depression, anxiety and employment status.

Of those, the only significant associations they found were with high-risk alcohol use, likelihood to have used other illicit drugs (with the implicit assumption that this is a bad thing), daily cigarette smoking, and lack of relationship.

From the abstract:

"By the mid‐30s, both young‐adult and adolescent‐onset regular users were more likely than minimal/non‐users (63.5%) to have used other illicit drugs (odds ratio [OR] > 20.4), be a high‐risk alcohol drinker (OR > 3.7), smoked daily (OR > 7.2) and less likely to be in relationships (OR < 0.4)."

Excessive drinking and daily smoking are both pretty negative things, imo, but they are only showing a correlation, and that not surprising at all. People use all three substances to cope. The (small-ish) relationship association found is also interesting and could be viewed as a negative, but this too is just a correlation.

Relating to the other negative outcomes like depression and anxiety, the authors find:

"The distribution of having a paid job, anxiety, depression and financial hardship were similar to the percentage of each class in the population."

Cool.

It would be nice if in 2021 we could start being a bit more objective about how we approach studying substance use.

There are real risks and harms associated with cannabis use, some of which we understand, and others we likely don't fully appreciate due to a lack of studies.

Overstating things to further some agenda or to support one's subjective preconceptions helps no one and only serves to further dilute our actual understanding of the science, and is ultimately going to do more harm than good.
I guess that while this is theoretically possible (that the retail investors walk away with a healthy profit, at least in aggregate), this is complicated by existing shareholders cashing out (which basically is a transfer of money to them). It also supposes that all the retail investors can act in unison and won't break rank (which will cause the prices to tank).

BlackRock isn’t a hedge fund, it’s (primarily) an index provider and just holds stocks including GME on behalf of clients who invest in wide swaths of the market at once. Most of the profit has probably gone to passive investors who own a little bit of GME as part of a diversified portfolio. (I’m pretty sure that group includes me but I’m not even 100% certain of that.)

Sure short selling sounds weird and dodgy. But how is this different from shilling penny stocks in year 2000?

It's crazy to think that I was raised going to church every Sunday, and I had never even heard the word "usury", or even the idea that lending money at interest might be morally wrong, until I started reading gnostic christian texts. It's there, the ancient church used to talk about it, but we don't anymore.

It's weird to think that this entire piece of morality, which was taken seriously in the past, has just been erased from western culture.
Mostly done by one hedge fund but it's easy to jump on the band wagon to overgeneralize and criticize the entire Wall Street.

Soviet style housing is an answer and also not an answer.

It would provide housing for people on UBI, but because it’s operating on a thin budget, over time it becomes less desirable.
